Avoid the Trends
The best way to date your logo is to follow trends. To create a memorable logo you must spend your research time on the company and not the trends. So many companies fall short on their brandmark because it gets a visual date stamp. Don't go to a printer to get a logo designed. Don't go to an online competition. Ultimately you ll get what you pay for. Don't consider it a second thought. You put a lot of time and effort into your business, hire a professional.
